 * Symbol confirmed.svg Nominated the day article moved from userspace to mainspace, so decidedly new enough. At 7632 characters of "readable prose" the article is a bit more than 5X long enough.  The article is written from a neutral standpoint, presenting multiple perspectives on a controversial subject.  Every sentence in every paragraph has an inline citation in support.  No copyvio found by Earwig (detected text were article titles, book titles, or small common phrases.)  No close paraphrasing or other potential copyright violations found.  Both hooks are within format. Both hooks are found within the article directly cited immediately after claim via inline citation, and source confirms hooks.  Hooks are interesting (death/mayhem!) and the subjects involved are not alive.  QPQ complete.  No DYK image to check against.  Although both hooks are approved, I recommend ALT1 as more concise, and also for bringing superior context to the subject.  This interesting, well-written article deserves main page exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:51, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
